Hello,
After the latest two kernel updates for the LTS 5.10 i’ve been getting error for AMD GPU driver what makes the system unable to use and reset button push is required. The issue happen randomly, i happened with my desktop in idle and also during soft usage like using Vivaldi. It’s intriguing because I never got the error while playing games. I have been able to get the error from KSystemLog as you can see in the image below at 07:57.
The issue lock the desktop, forces log out, blur the screen and freezes.
I think it will requires me to be patient and wait for future kernel update until someone is able to report the bug and it get fixed. Unfortunate I can’t do it by myself due to limited knowledge. Maybe I switch to the kernel 5.4 LTS, don’t know yet.
To be able to a screenshot from the system frozen I used my cellphone. The picture isn’t from today’s issue, but it always happen the same way so it illustrate well.

Do you have high frequency monitor (above 60Hz)? If yes see AMDGPU - ArchWiki
Nope, mine is a bit old, it’s the LG LCD 23 W2353V and the manual indicates:
Horizontal Freq.
When I made a fresh linux install from Manjaro 20.1 it was working pretty well, the issue start from the latest two kernel updates, I Think they were 5.10.18 and 5.10.23, the fresh installation if I remember well was using the 5.11 and I changed to 5.10.11, I didn’t register the info, so I can’t precisely indicate, sorry, maybe there is some history log registered anywhere in my PC.
Below my system info in case it’s needed:

Have you tried kernel 5.11 or 5.12?
Not yet, I will give a try to the 5.11 once it’s stable, but 5.12 isn’t stable right now.
The reason I was preferring to stay with 5.10 if because it’s LTS, so I assume it it has less bugs.
Just because a kernel is LTS does NOT mean it has less bugs from my experience. It just means that specific kernel will be supported for a longer period of time. But some stuff from newer kernels also gets backported to the LTS kernels as well.
Also, AMD GPUs typically gets better with newer kernels (unless there was a regression). One of the reasons why I use Manjaro is to be able to easily use newer kernels for my AMD GPUs.
Thank you for the feedback
I’m going to install the 5.11 and use it for a week then i will post here if this particular issue was fixed.
The error still persists with kernel 5.11
amdgpu_dm_atomic_commit_tail ERROR waiting for fences timed out
The issue still remains after the last updates and also for the kernel 5.4
Unfortunately DrKonqi do not detect this error what reinforce it’s more related to the AMD driver.
Never had issue AGMD/GPU driver issue while using windows 7 so I will keep thinking that my hardware is OK. Maybe it will take more time from the community to detect the issue and fix it.
